    I am sorry these are not the clearest but I have to stand pretty far away..Momma is quite nervous with the sparrow and wren trying to get at them. I am not sure how many are in there but they should be leaving soon. They have been hanging out the door for quite a while.

    Good pics, Sherry. I like looking at your birds so much. This batch of baby bird fotos are so nice to see.
    I don't see that bird over here. Perhaps it is here, but I have never seen it.

    I'm glad you got to watch your nest. Mine never did set up housekeeping. When I made up my mind to let them stay they made up their mind to move :rolleyes:

    Wonderful shots Sherry. The young ones certainly look as though they are about ready to fledge. We don't have tree swallows here in Scotland so it's good to be able to see yours. :-D

    I've never seen Swallows. So dramatic looking and the babies so sweet.

    Nice photos! :D Babies are so cute.

    Swallows are such pretty, graceful birds. We've got a pair nesting in the riding house. :rolleyes: Talk about picking a calm spot, eh? With all the goings-on I'm surprised they manage to raise youngs at all.

    They've taken over my purple martin houses, but that's O.K. with me...they eat a lot of bugs too! Great pics again Sherry.

    Sharon, you always have such nice photos and lots of wildlife to enjoy.

    Was the house originally for BB's?

    I love to watch swallows fly.
